I just read this on kdog's post and realize I'm also very guilty of this.
"I haven't been around this board in a couple of days - staying busy on the weekend helps! I realized I was kind of obsessively checking it (we're talking on the bus to work, throughout the day at work, on the bus home from work, etc.) and doing so meant I was dwelling more on my situation and H, less on myself and making my life the best it can be!"
Am really having a hard time detaching. Although I feel like I'm "doing" more I don't know how much more I'm really doing. Still have no life unless it involves my kids.
Emotionally I have been doing better but I am in knots again today. Most likely because I texted my H last night (this morning) and of course it goes against DB but more importantly I got very little response.
I have been having very vivid dreams the past few nights, one I talked about earlier but the other ones were regarding the safety of H. I woke up from a dream last night and could not get back to sleep so I texted him asking if he was ok. His response was "?????" I told him I had a bad dream. He did not respond back and I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up this morning I sent him another text saying that "I will take your no response as you're fine and I'm crazy :)" and he simply responded "ok here". I texted him again a little bit ago just saying that hope you don't think I'm being strange and explained that I've had some not good, very vivid dreams over the past few nights and I couldn't get back to sleep. Of course he didn't respond so now I'm kicking myself. Should have let it go. Although I know I have every right to be worried about him where he is and he is still my husband, until the fortress he has built around himself weakens a little this is where we are.
It frustrates me that he can just cut off any emotion at all and just stop caring. I wish I could turn off my feelings that easy.
